I had a case personally when a client tried to use a POA to sign a joint tenancy agreement on his father's behalf to make him and his father joint tenants with rights of survivorship on his father's account.
My client was unaware that I had read his father's will, and knew that he had siblings out of town who were also equal beneficiaries of his father's estate.
I refused it and notified my senior at the bank, who refused it immediately.
There was no muss, no fuss.
It was obvious he was trying to rip off his brother and sister.
Case closed.
You are dead wrong.
Your personal suspicions regardless if based on hunch or privy of viewing a 'will' and along with your senior at the bank may deny or refuse but it does not nullify a POA as void. Your client can walk across the street and can use the POA you refused. Only the donor of sound mind can retract a POA otherwise via court application.
